Wikipedia:Tip of the day/April 4, 2008

Keeping track of your questions

Wikipedia has many places to ask questions, such as the Help desk, Reference desks, Village Pump (technical) forum, and the talk page for each and every article in Wikipedia. Sometimes, a user will post a query and forget to return to check for the answer. It is easy to forget about these unless you keep a record of the questions you posted to refer back to later. One useful method for doing this is to set aside a section of your user page, or create a subpage of your user page, to keep a list of links to your queries. In this list, place section links which lead directly to the subheadings under which you posted your queries.

This method applies equally well for any issue that requires follow-up.
